The year is 3178. Football teams now have both men an women players. Goals have been made smaller but keepers are still complaining every 4 years about the balls, especially the new ones with anti gravity technology.

Sunderland, having finished rock bottom of the conference south (we relocated there as it was cheaper to scout players in a more densely populated area and the South at the time was known to have taller, pacier players) have sections of unhappy 'bedwetters'.

A 'happy clapper', having just got in from his morning hoverboard stroll, feels perplexed. 'Perspective' reads the title of his scornful post. Remember that time Ellis got us relegated and we were going to go into administration if he didn't write all the debt off.

Sorry, you have lost me, I did read it and tried to understand, to no avail :lol:
 
Whilst I remain absolutely optimistic about the takeover eventually happening, I find it somewhat disconcerting that 3 of our 4 potential billionaire investors share the same office, and a pretty small one too. Money might be a lot tighter than many people imagined. The initial wild optimism that many had might have to be watered down a tad if this is a sign of the way things are going to pan out at the Stadium of Light.

It's a body of text highlighting a number of clichés you find on here all the time. One being being that we have to base all opinions on the club, whether it be the progress it makes, or how it's performing, on whether it's better or worse than being Bury. One of several clubs that have gone into administration but not had a billionaire owner ultimately prevent it. IE Nobody is allowed to ever be disappointed with relegarion because Bury folded and that's worse.

If there is more to what you have said than this I apologise:

"Don't think Bury is the barometer tbf"

"So we can never want better or improvement because we aren't Bury?"

"Then as I said Bury isn't the barometer of whether a football team is doing well or not".

"I'm not certain you've read what I said"

Your first was in response to a poster saying that it is "positive to have a team to support, just ask Bury fans"

I think that Bury is an excellent example of what could happen to a football club that is not financially viable and I am thankful that the current owners have us on a sound financial platform that meets SCMP. So yes I read what you said and from that, I am not really sure you understand the financial implications of failing to meet the requirements of SCMP or the need to cut our cloth to meet our circumstances.

Ellis Short made absolutely certain that we were nowhere near a Bury situation.
